Description Back when I worked on Nova #25, I could only show a maximum of 5 random pages from the issue. So I'm just putting up the rest of the pages that I inked.

Page 16 of Nova #25.

Guess where they put the biiiiiiiiig SFX

Your attention to Kevin's details are amazing. I'm surprised you didn't go blind from it. Anyways...out of curiosity, was the second panel's open space where the 'energy ball' supposed to be in outer space? Only reason I asked was because of the 'starry' cape that this guy has and then you see that black spot...almost like it was forgotten. But then again, maybe it was intentional? Anywhoo...awesome inks --you can definitely see confidence in those lines on this page.

Nope his cape just looks like that They're in some kind of tunnel, so its not out in open outer space.

hmmmm....I wonder why kevin didn't just have some form of lighting going into the tunnel?

Just a crow quill and ruler I just had to be careful not to have too much ink on the nib with the ruler, sometimes it leaks under and puddles on the page >_<

never had much luck with crow quills, but i might try fooling around with them again. thanks!

I have 3 types of nibs I like to use, but they all have their own holders so when I stop using one for a while they feel odd in my hand lol. I have an R. Esterbrook 355 with a koh-i-noor cork holder, a Hunt 102 with the plastic holder (modified with a big thick grip made of masking tape), and a Deleter nib with a Grifhold holder (heavy metal one I added a gel grip to).

BrentMcKee In reply to mechangel2002 [2011-01-29 10:26:07 +0000 UTC]

i have the 102 with plastic grip, hav'nt tried the others. using the ruler with it will seem odd though, i am very comfortable inking organic objects , people and such but i always tense up with buildings cars and with the aforementioned technique you used on that page.

mechangel2002 In reply to BrentMcKee [2011-01-29 10:35:47 +0000 UTC]

I picked up the Grifhold on Jonathan Glapion's recommendation, and it served me well on a gig this past summer You know, if you don't want to use the quill you could try a set of Rapidographs for technical lines, at one time I used them on backgrounds (on my work on that Tempest series back in like 2007). You do really lovely organic brushwork too

damn i hated cleaning rapidiographs, i'll give the quills a try, and thank you!

Me too lmao... that's why I haven't used them in a while (that and I'm so heavy handed I broke the little wire in one damn they can be expensive to replace).

BrentMcKee In reply to mechangel2002 [2011-01-30 12:08:24 +0000 UTC]

oh damn, i forgot about that stupid wire! and dumb question - what part of the quill touches the ruler?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

mechangel2002 In reply to BrentMcKee [2011-01-30 20:36:55 +0000 UTC]

You have to have a ruler or triangle with a sloped edge so that you can flip it upside down and the edge doesn't touch the paper. Then the side of the nib touches that raised edge -- but if I have too much ink on it sometimes it slips down that edge to the underside of the ruler/triangle and puddles under it on the paper leaving a blob

Yeah, I have to ink an explosion, which I've never done before. Your last panel has given me some ideas on how to work that out.
